I do not have a "feeling" that the other 2 dreams will come true.
I dont understand why the frist one did, and i am thinking that
maybe the other 2 "can" come true.??? Both my children swim,
and i do own guns and have them in the house.?? Maybe it is
ol' anxiety. or maybe its just the fact that they swim, and i have
guns. Maybe if i did not have the guns, and the girls did not swim,
I would not have these dreams.???????? I don't know.????????????
As far as the frist one, I had no feelings at all as to this hapening
I really can't even explain it. When he did have the surgery i
was more or less in shock when the DR told me he need it and need
it fast or he would die. I "flashed back" to the dream.??????????

I really don't have any ideas about what these dreams might mean. I do
think (if I may inject my opinion here) that you shouldn't worry about
these dreams. If you really have the feeling that they will come true
then maybe it will make you feel better to try and take precautions
so that they do not occur. My personal opinion is that I wouldn't put
it completely out of my mind and might take some reasonable
precautions, but I wouldn't spend a lot of time worrying about it. As
far as I can gather, at this point any dream could be prophetic. Why
do you think these dreams and not others will come true?
I personally believe that it is a coincidence ( more or less ) that
the first dream came true. Your inner life reflected your outer life
( and very, very accurately in this case ). The other dreams are doing
the same. But the dreams do this in a symbolic manner - the fact that
the first dream "came true" is coincidence (albeit, a very meaningful
one). To state another way - the first dream had a direct analog in
the physical world. The other dreams have analogs in the physical
world too - but they are most likely more indirect, and understanding
the symbols of the dreams better might give us a start on where to
look for that analog.
Of course, this is all my opinion here - ultimately, you must follow
your heart (...startin' to sound like Obi-wan.....;-)

| Allison,
Sorry for the delayed response - I've been on vacation.
If you usually dream in color, and then dream in black and white,
it's likely that the new color-scheme is itself a symbol. What does
"black-and-white" mean to you? To me it means "clear" or "definite" or
"a racial mixture." My guess is that it means "clear" to you also, be-
cause dream #3, which is related to dream #2 in theme and in color,
contains the image of the "crystal clear water," which reinforces and
amplifies the "clear" message. Dream #2 says, "It's clear." Dream #3
says, "It's crystal clear."
In both dreams something happens to your daughters. At the end of
dream #2 they're dead, but at the beginning of dream #3 they're alive
again, so I think it would be a mistake to interpret the dreams liter-
ally. I don't think that you need to abandon your guns and to avoid
the water. But think about what your mind could be trying to tell you
.... In dream #2 your daughters are sleeping in their beds. This may
mean that they are - or that you consider them to be - sexually im-
mature. The break-in and shootings may indicate their involvement in
premature sexual encounters, something that you would naturally fear.
In .0 you say, "Killing them both but not me.??????" A possible answer
is that you weren't shot because it was you or someone close to you who
did the shooting, and that the "gun" was actually a voice, a mouth that
was shooting off. Around the time of the dream was there an argument,
perhaps violent or perceived as such, in which your daughters were in-
terrupted (the break-in) and then silenced (shot down)?
In dream #3 your daughters are trying to learn how to swim. To be
"in-the-swim" is to be active socially, especially with one's contem-
poraries. Such involvement would increase mother-daughter separation.
Are your daughters growing up? You may fear that they are becoming
out-of-reach and unresponsive (dead) to you. The choice of the lake
site in China brings to mind the recent student revolt in which so
many voices were drowned out permanently. The image of the lake with
your daughters in it also suggests that you may think of them as
babies. Whatever the situation is, you appear to have a hand in it.
Do you feel, perhaps, that you're being overly protective of your
daughters? In both dreams they seem to come across as passive individ-
uals, acted on by forces over which they have little, if any, control,
or which they simply ignore.
I think that dream #1 is a precognitive dream. By "precognitive"
I mean a dream that shows what will happen in the future, unless some-
thing intervenes to prevent it from happening. I think it's probable
that 2-3 months before your father-in-law was hospitalized, something
occurred that set the wheels in motion for the surgery that would be
needed later. Knowing what his condition was, can you identify any
such factor? In other words, there's some reason why you didn't dream
this dream 4 months before the surgery. In .0 you ask why the dream
happened. I think that your brain received information about your
father-in-law that it recognized as being emotionally significant to
you, and therefore constructed the dream to tell you about it. I
don't mean that you were necessarily singled-out. The same information
may have entered many brains, but wouldn't - in most cases - have been
identified as important. Other people may have dreamed about the
event, too, but they may have forgotten their dreams.
